Hi Derek,

thans for the idea, but the analysis is suspicious.

21...Bxa4 22.Bd1 Qc4 23.Rf4 Bc6 24.Be2!
however 23...Bb5! looks good.

That's the most interesting!

21... Bxa4 22.Bd3 Bd7? 23.Rf4 b5?? 24.Rh4 h5 25.Rxh5 gxh5 26.Qxh5 Bg7 27.Qh7+
Kf8
28.Qxg7+ Ke8 29.Qg8#

23...Bb5! again.

Let me add that Crafty doesn't find 21...Bxa4 in reasonable time:
